I have an idea to save HMV which is almost impossible but worth a discussion with interested parties.

Recently, I read in the news that supermarket to the stars, Morrisons, has bought out six branches of HMV, in order to turn them into mini high street supermarkets, which will then sit alongside the Tesco Metro, Sainsbury’s Local, and the five Co-ops already on the road, giving more choice when getting a pint of milk on the way home. But this gave me an idea and it is an idea that I believe will rejuvenate everyone’s favourite (only?) high street music store, and potentially even stop it from being completely wiped out in the next year.

In my student days, I used to do my weekly shop in Morrisons, since it was within walking distance and you could often get 10 bakery items for under a pound at closing time, so I thought to myself, what are the best features of Morrisons, and one of the answers is, of course, the fresh pizza counter, where the huge pizzas are prepared in store. I then wondered how this feature could be applied for the high street music store, and this is my answer.

1) Instead of a pizza base you have a blank CD.
2) Instead of picking a variety of toppings to go on it, you pick a selection of SONGS.
3) The good people at HMV make up your mix CD for a fair price, while you wait.

because it allows you to access albums that are no longer sold and give you full artwork. What the OP is suggesting is just simply a mix cd that anyone can make on any pc in the world ever but it's completely irrelevant because people don't really do that anymore anyways.

waiting at the cd deli counter waiting for your mix cd to be burned. It would be in a transparent burner like how they have transparent ovens for when they cook chickens. Then when you get to the checkouts you'd realise you didn't want it after all and dump it on the shelf next to the baked beans
